Childsmile

Childsmile is a national programme to improve the oral health of children in Scotland and reduce inequalities in dental health and access to dental services. From the age of six months, appointments will be made for your child to attend dental services on a regular basis. Childsmile is introduced to the family by the public health nurse or health visitor who will refer you straight to a Childsmile dental practice. You can also become involved by contacting us directly. At Kincorth Dental Practice we can tailor a programme of Childsmilecare to suit the individual. Each programme will include:

• Oral health advice (e.g. on healthy weaning, diet, teething and tooth brushing instruction)
• Annual dental check-ups and treatment, if required
• Twice yearly fluoride varnish applications from two years old
